Software Licensing Handbook now available as an eBook
I know, I know… welcome to the 20th Century, Jeff. I was waiting for my publishing “house”, Lulu, to allow for an eBook edition, and we’ve finally got it.

FTC Required Disclosure
The FTC now requires bloggers to disclose what they’ve received for free. I was about to say nothing when I remembered that I received a copy of H.

Content, for instance, is created, licensed/sold, packaged, re-licensed/re-sold, bundled, re-licensed/re-sold, and on and [...]
